Week 2 (term 2)

This week has been crazy! ive been modelling constantly. To begin with i found it so hard to make organic things like foilage, but then gradually as ive got into it, its become easier and easier. im starting to really enjoy it. I was dreading the fact that id been asked to make the thick jungle, but now im glad i took it on as its started to look really good. i never thought i could do it. So thank you Jono for giving me the challenge. Also thanks Rob for showing me a quick and easy way of making vines using a curve. At the beginning of the week a couldnt get my head around exactly how to structure the leaves and trees of a jungle, going by just my concept work. So Jono gave me an animation to watch for reference called "Surfs up". Parts of this film are set in the deep thick jungle and it really helped me. It gave me a better view of how the foliage looks and also where plants should be positioned. I cant even think at the moment of how many things ive modelled so far for the jungle, but everytime i add a plant or tree it looks thicker and better. Obviously im not modelling every single plant completelty different to the others because some things can be duplicated as the view wont notice. Heres some of my work so far for the first shot of te jungle. Next week i will hopefully get started on modelling the second shot of the jungle where our character is running and jumps over a fallen log.
